Fig & Wally is an awesome, highly-entertaining and FREE online service for kids to meet and interact with professionals from many different fields around the world. Since it’s based in the U.S. some of the live events may be past bedtime here (4pm EST/10pm CST) but if you have a kid who is particularly interested in a field of work, it could be worth staying up for the chat! Questions can be submitted beforehand, or kids can “raise their hand” (It’s a button in the chat section) to ask a question within the Zoom call. You can sign up for their newsletter to get informed of upcoming events, view highlights on their website or you can follow their YouTube channel to view past recorded events. So far, they have had conversations with a Shark Scientist, a Cardiothoracic Surgeon, a Top Gun Pilot, Wildlife Conservationist, Flight Paramedic, a Filmmaker, a Mountain Climber and Social Activist and more!
